VMware Cloud Management Platform: Get the Cloud Working for You

Discover how you can get the cloud working for you with VMware Cloud Management Platform.

Evolution of IT Management

The modern CIO knows there are conflicting priorities for the IT organization: Quickly adopt new technology, but minimize technical debt; be strategic and focus on business objectives, but maintain operational excellence; encourage innovation, but stay secure and maintain compliance. The overarching challenge in the cloud era: Support business need for speed and agility, while maintaining control and reducing IT costs.

Looking forward, most Software-Defined Data Centers will be hybrid. Workloads will be a mix of traditional and modern application architectures. They will be provisioned in an increasingly virtualized mix of physical and virtual environments managed both on-premises and in public clouds.

The concept of a cloud management platform has evolved as a response to this complex set of management requirements. Our vRealize cloud management platform delivers the management capabilities that allow you to effectively manage the complete lifecycle of services delivered in a hybrid IT environment.
